The month of March marks the 2nd anniversary of my Mother's death. She was a huge influence in my life and I know she had many friends who felt the richer for knowing her. She was born to artists, so it was natural and very comfortable for her to draw, she drew like we breath. She was never without a sketch book throughout her active life and loved to record everything going on around her. She was so adept at the quick sketch that many newspaper (San Francisco Examiner, Seattle Times, Portland Oregonian) hired her as their "artist on the spot". These are some of my favorite drawings by her as well as some photos which capture her lovely, serene self. From these photos you would never know what a wacky sense of humor she had- but she did! I miss my best friend.
